@AnonymousYou would be better either using a local sim...Or making sure you have WiFi for data connection. You can also use TuGo over Wifi for calls and texts http://www.o2.co.uk/apps/tu-go

Also make sure voicemail is turned off before you travel

Without doubt try and get a local sim card.

O2 costs will cripple you !

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

If you go for the local sim card, and I strongly suggest you do, make sure your phone is unlocked before you go. You have seen the rates for monthly contract but if you are P&G then the rates vary slightly.

One anomaly that hasn't changed is that it is cheaper to send a picture message with included text (25p) rather than a standard text (49p)

Advice here on unlocking your phone.
